The secrets of the chase

P.S. this is a draft after finishing I will probably wipe all of the chapters to edit or make an authors note saying when the edited chapters will be released

Every time a ruler dies a competition called the chase will appear. The chase is a competition that chooses the next ruler. It is a secret to all of society except the ones involved. A new rule of choosing the competitors happens every time. This time around the rule is the oldest child of the collection. The collection being the people of the government, are forced to have their kids leave for this unknown quest.

Astoria being the oldest child in her family must go to the chase. She has needed a change in her life, but this is not what she wanted in change. Little did she know what seemed like a little competition she would not win could turn into something far more important.

After reconnecting with a past friend and losing another, can Astoria go along with what's right for the city or what someone is telling her to do?
